And he trolled Hall over pulling out of their September showdown

The pair’s grudge match, however, fell through a matter of weeks before fight night after Hall suffered a torn bicep.

But Bjornsson, who is best known for his role as The Mountain in Game of Thrones, has teased a March dust-up with the Brit.

Alongside an Instagram video of himself hitting the heavy bag, the Icelandic giant wrote: “March it is. Fight is on.

“Let’s f***ing pray Eddie doesn’t back out again!!”

Bjornsson’s legion of followers were quick to comment, with one saying: “Fingers crossed it’s March.

“Eddie is too Chunky to keep the running up this long.”

Another said: “Eddie is nothing but talk.”

And another said: “Let’s goooooooo here for it champ.”

Man mountain Hall has yet to comment on the apparent rescheduling of his clash with the 6ft 9in monster.

The pair, 34 and 33 respectively, used to be close until Bjornsson accused Hall of cheating in the Viking Press portion of the 2017 World’s Strongest Man competition.

Brit bruiser Hall, who won the title that year, felt betrayed by a man he once called a friend, saying: “This is what people don’t sort of get.

“We used to be good friends. He’s been round my house and we’ve had parties. We’ve travelled around the world together.

“But what happened at World’s Strongest Man 2017 just threw all that friendship out the window.

“It was a big dagger in the back. That’s irreparable, three or four years with a cloud over my World’s Strongest Man win.

“What’s that cost me in terms of my career? He just doesn’t care.

“I still haven’t had an apology from him, he’s not denying it.

Hall has never forgiven Bjornsson for accusing him of cheating during the 2017 World’s Strongest Man Competition

“He keeps saying he was robbed, hard done by.

“At the end of the day, if he’s got solid evidence bring it up. He’s full of s***.

“Thor is not my friend. He was and I can safely say, even with an apology, I don’t want to break bread with this man.”
